ESPN uses "Ohio"

Posted: 4/6/2014 1:53:51 PM

Go to the first page of the Men's B-ball section of ESPN and it says "Ohio hires NDSU's Phillips as new head coach." They never used "Ohio U" or "Ohio University", just "Ohio" and "Ohio basketball." This article was also written by Andy Katz. This is a good sign.

Katz is a good guy, so when he writes an article, he really does his homework. I also like how he manages the "Barack-etology" segments, letting Obama explain his picks and do 80% of the talking

Heard an interview with Saul on Sirius XM today on Mark Packer's show. Even though everyone on the show used "the U" nearly every time they said Ohio, it seemed. To close the interview Saul sent a "shout-out" to the Ohio Bobcats and Bobcat nation. I enjoyed the interview - Saul was describing the interview process that took place before and during last nights' games in Dallas. What a great guy. He sounds like someone who is going to do very well in Athens. He mentioned that the trip he made to Athens when he was with The Badgers helped seal the deal. He was impressed with Athens and OU. I'm pumped. I bet the folks in Boston are wondering how this happened. Amazing 24 hours...

Its even nicer today along Richland Ave. with the crosswalks, bridges and traffic circle. Great grand entrance to the university.
